[javascript] Change the URL in the browser without loading the new page using JavaScript

I was wondering if it will posible as long as the parent path in the page is same, only something new is appended to it.

So like let's say the user is at the page: http://domain.com/site/page.html Then the browser can let me do location.append = new.html and the page becomes: http://domain.com/site/page.htmlnew.html and the browser does not change it.

Or just allow the person to change get parameter, so let's location.get = me=1&page=1.

So original page becomes http://domain.com/site/page.html?me=1&page=1 and it does not refresh.

The problem with # is that the data is not cached (at least I don't think so) when hash is changed. So it is like each time a new page is being loaded, whereas back- and forward buttons in a non-Ajax page are able to cache data and do not spend time on re-loading the data.

From what I saw, the Yahoo history thing already loads all of the data at once. It does not seem to be doing any Ajax requests. So when a div is used to handle different method overtime, that data is not stored for each history state.
